Communication

The major in communication consists of two tracks: Human Communicationor Mass Communication (including journalism). A communication minor also is available.

Whichever track is chosen, the B.A. in Communication requires lower division requirements of CT 2000, CT 2040, CT 2200, and JN 2000. A minor or an additional 12 semester hours of upper-division courses in related disciplines (outside communication) are required, chosen under the direction of the major advisor.

The B.A. in Communication also requires two semesters of college-level study of one language other than English. This requirement may be fulfilled by completing two semesters of college-level literature in one language other than English. In either case, these two courses must be taken for college-level credit.

All majors are required to compete in either the Dowling Oratory Contest or the Bourke Extemporaneous Speaking Contest to complete major requirements.

A grade of C or better is required in each upper-division course in the major. (A grade of C- will not fulfill the requirement.)
